2019: Nigerians Won’t Vote An ‘Old Face,’ Oshiomhole Tells Atiku

National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Comrade Adams Oshiomhole has said he is confident that Nigerians won’t vote in the presidential candidate of the People’s Democratic Party, Atiku Abubakar come 2019.

He made the statement while speaking with State House correspondent shortly after meeting with Vice President Yemi Osinbajo.

According to him, his party will win the 2019 presidential election convincingly.

He said that the PDP is not an option, adding that Nigerians would not vote someone who is not new face.

“PDP is just not an option; particularly when their candidate is not a new face; there is no basis for benefit of the doubt,” he said.

“You can give benefit of the doubt to a stranger not to someone who was at the heart; perhaps one of most powerful vice presidents we have ever had.

“So, I am clear that Nigerians will not have any basis to give PDP the benefit of the doubt.”

He further said that Uche Secondus, PDP National Chairman, apologised to Nigerians but Nigerians did not accept the apology.

“I have not heard anybody say they have accepted the apology. People that have robbed you; they don’t apologise and say allow me back to your store room; you don’t do that.

“We are certain that even as we cannot talk of any perfect situation, nothing can make Nigerians get so confused as to think that those who mismanaged yesterday and those who were at the heart of that mismanagement can be entrusted with providing leadership for tomorrow.

“I do not think that is a question at all. PDP is out of this calculation as far as I am concerned.”
